Slowly opening her eyes,Haley could not remember anything.She couldn't even see anything but little slits of dull light here or there.
confused she let her eyes adjust.Once they did she looked at her surroundings,she was on some kind of a cot,there were more cots around hers,but hers was the only one in use.There was a small desk against a wall,then the walls,they were a dead giveaway to ware she was.The walls were stone.
"I made it to the caves"she said to herself letting a small smile creep up on her face.Suddenly she could hear footsteps,and she could see a blue light coming through the doorway.Not knowing what to do with herself she just sat there and stared at the person as they walked into the room.

As Kali walked through the entrance to Doc's Hospital, she noticed a girl sitting up on her small cot. "Oh! I didn't realize we had a newcomer! I'm sorry if I frightened you. I'm Kali. What's your name?" Kali could understand the relief that lingered on this new girl's face. I wonder what I should do...?Kali thought to herself, biting her lip. Should I talk to her? Help her up? Show her around? I don't know how to get most places in the caves myself. Hmm....
"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't really know what to do. I only know where a couple of things are myself. I just woke up a few hours ago....Um, do you want to eat? Or get a bath..." Kali let the sentence trail off. She was being a little too friendly, wasn't she? Hmm...What to do, what to do...? Kali decided to sit on the cot next to this very pretty new girl, and talk gently to her. "So, tell me about your journey."

"My names Haley,Haley Jackson"she replied as Kali sat down beside her.Haley couldn't help taking a inconspicuous glance at Kali's eyes,her uncle had tolled her that only humans were here,but she wanted to be sure.To her relief there was no silver lining around her pupils.Haley could tell that Kali was just as confused as she was,that made her feel more at ease around her.Then she realized that she still hadn't givin her an answer to her journey.
"Well"she stared a little to late"my uncle and me would travel from place to place to keep from having the seekers find us,but they always came so close to finding us no matter how good we hid.But the last time they fond us we wouldn't have been able to get out together they knew someone was there,so my uncle made me hid behind some stuff well he went out to them.But before he went out he tolled me to go to theses caves,that I'd be safe here.So I went into the dessert and came here"
She didn't know why she was telling all this to Kali,it was stupid she should have just said that she had heard of the caves from her uncle.She just met Kali she should not trust her,though she was human so she couldn't do anything to bad to her."so you have only been hear for a couple hours?"she asked to try and get the attention off herself.

Haley looked a little antsy with Kali. "Yea, I actually don't know exacly how long I've been here, but I woke up a couple of hours ago. Noelle showed me around a little bit. She's really nice. You should meet her sometime!" Kali was trying to make small talk. Though she had never been good in that area...
"So, I guess since you told me your story, you wanna hear mine. Well, I lived in Texas all my life, and my best friend told me about the Seekers and stuff, but I wouldn't believe her. Later on, she told me about the caves, and I began my traveling to get here. Unfortunately, she nor my family made it...."
Kali could sense a little uneasiness in Haley. "Look, I know you don't know anyone here, but you've got friends here. We've all been through this, so we can all understand whay you're going through. Just remember that."

"Thank you"Haley said in a voice no louder then a whisper,she looked down and started messing with one of her bracelets."And I'm sorry about your friend and your family"she said in the same low tone.When Kali had said that she had friends here she looked like she genuinely meant it,maybe the people here were good and maybe she could trust them.She had said that they all had gone through stuff like this.This made her realize they all had gone through the invasion and if nothing else then they all had that in common,she had no reason not to trust them.
She looked back up at Kali's waiting gaze."And I'm sorry I probably seem hesitant to you,I just still can't believe that I even made it here."She looked around the room again now that she could see from the blue light.It was amazing that they could do all this in a cave everything looked like it was shaped for someone to live in it,she couldn't help wondering if someone had fond it like this or if someone had done it themselves?even this room looked huge for a cave and it looked like Kali had come from somewhere.Then of course she started thinking of how big these where,and that made her wounder of the people."so how many of you are there?"

Haley was looking slightly more at ease. Kali hoped her soothing tone and kind words had helped Haley in her time of need. Kali gazed at Haley with understanding burning in her eyes. What was it that made Kali feel so worried? She instantly shoved that thought aside. I'm just being paranoid! What is wrong with me?!
"No, it's fine," Kali said, replying to Haley's apology about her family, "I learned quickly to keep the past in the past and move on, though the memory is branded in my brain, we all need to be strong." Kali said in the kindest way possible.
Kali knew all too well the relief in Haley's tone as she told Kali she couldn't believe she had made it to the caves. "So, you're probably hungry by now, aren't you? I know I was! So, what do you say, we go get something to eat, and then, I can take you to the bathing rooms?" It wasn't a statement, It was a question.Kali didn't want to force Haley into something she didn't want to do. "Or, If you want to take things kinda slow, I can sit here with you a little while longer. Or I could leave and let you get some rest or have some alone time, or something..." Again, Kali had that strange feeling of not being wanted in the caves. That same feeling that was thrust apon her when she first arrived.

Haley could see the concern and understanding in Kali's eyes and on her face.She was grateful that someone like Kali was the first person that she met here.Haley hadn't realized how hungry she was tell Kali had said something about it,and as soon as she did her stomach let out a huge growell."yeah I think I could definitely eat something",Haley said letting a small laugh out,the laugh sounded fake,which was weird because it was real.
Even if she wasn't hungry she would have been grateful for the walk,her mussels were cramping up and she wondered how long she had been there for.It must have been awhile.At that she stood up and stretched her legs and arms out.Then she looked back at Kali with curiosity and asked,"what kind of food do you have in a cave?"

Kali chuckled softly at Haley's stomach. Haley got up slowly, her muscles probably aching, and stretched. Gosh, We're so much alike, it's not even funny! I think we can relate in more ways than one! I can see the beginning of a new friendship! Kali laughed at herself internally, at her own cheesiness.
Kali replied to Haley's question confusedly, "I'm no exacly sure what they usually have...But when Noelle took me to eat, we had chicken and mashed potatoes...and an apple I think..." Kali bit her lip again. She usually did this when she was unsure or nervous. "But, I guess we'll find out shortly!
***Let's take this to a new thread!***
